Trade deadline closing in still not a ton of chatter around the Knicks other than the rumored jazz deal. I am not in favor of the move to send obi and one first for Beasley and Vanderbilt
I’m Holding out hope they make a move for OG as long as the price is right and if there’s no deal to be made I’d keep it simple at the deadline and go get someone like Eric Gordon or a player of that caliber for a pair of 2nds.

Nets and Durant are having ongoing conversations about the direction of the team, but so far inquiring teams have been turned away about Durant.
A shame the Nets will never deal him to the Knicks.
what could the knicks offer? the picks with durant wont be great.
- obi? yuck
- barrett? knicks fans dont like him
- IQ? ill take cam thomas any day.
the time to trade for durant was when Barrett had #2 pick value still.
You arent serious about taking Cam Thomas over Quickley are you?
Iq has also become a top defender, good playmaker and has stop being a chuck fest..
IQ is the smartest defender on the team

Demar Derozan and Patrick Williams for
Obi and Fournier and Hart plus protected first
that package wouldn't get you ONE of Derozan or Williams - let alone both of them.
Correct. It's amazing the ridiculous trade proposals that are suggested.
WTF? is this a serious post?

Nets are finalizing trade to send forward Kessler Edwards and cash to the Kings, sources tell ESPN. The Nets save a total of $8M in salary and luxury tax and open up a roster spot. Edwards still has to approve trade because he has a "one-year Bird Rights restriction" in his deal.
Obi's warts are too exposed in what Tom wants to do out there and he is unable to adapt.
In theory, Beasley and Vandy while not big time needle movers are much better fits. The roster construction will look much closer to what it needs to win sans the final superstar piece. They will probably chose the deal that keeps enough assets to make that final big move.

NBA insider on Ben Simmons’ contract: ‘It’s one of the worst 3 contracts in the NBA’
-Mavs no longer interested in Reddish, looking for defensive help
Pretty sure that was Windy on Zach Lowe's podcast. Funny how that Twitter account is trying to "break" that quote.
I know it is hard to fathom, but Porzingis is the perfect fit. Could Hartenstein, Reddish and giving back Washington's pick get it done.
I don't know whether that package would do it, and if the Knicks get KP, they should really move Obi. He'd be buried at the end of the bench, and at that point, he's worth a lot more in trade than he is on the roster.

The Nuggets have "registered some interest" in Cam Reddish ahead of Thursday's trade deadline
I’m fine will them dumping Reddish for whatever and then rolling with their own young guys until the off season.

Because its preception of the Knicks, right or wrong....
Obi
7 first round picks
Are nets getting a better offer?
A shame the Nets will never deal him to the Knicks.
I think KD is moved this summer. I still can't believe he hitched his ride to a loon like Irving.

KD is a better teammate and human being than Irving is but he’s a pretty strange dude himself. Not that surprising that he’d gravitate towards another oddball like Kyrie, even if he himself isn’t destructive
& I think a lot of people-myself included-will never give him credit for those 2 Dubs titles, which were weak AF. Is that unfair? Probably, even though he was the best player on the team. But that was/is Steph's team. That's why last year's NBA Finals win/first Finals MVP meant so much to Curry.
Obi
7 first round picks
Are nets getting a better offer?
It’s never going to happen. It would be like if Aaron Judge demanded a trade and the Mets made the Yankees the best offer. They still wouldn’t do it and he doesn’t want to play for the Knicks anyways. The only possibility (and that’s a strong word) would be if the Knicks somehow won the lottery and traded Wemby for him. Otherwise the Nets could never sell it to their fanbase.
Obi

The nets could easily get a better offer than that. Doesn’t matter though- they would never trade him to the Knicks and he doesn’t want to be a Knick.
I guess Toronto can offer Siakim and van fleet but that roster would stink then

Boston, Memphis, Toronto, Denver, Portland, Phoenix could all top that deal. Even Cleveland if they offered Mobley or Garland could.
I don’t think the Knicks have a high end young player that would be attractive enough to Brooklyn.
And why wouldn’t OKC or NOLA be in on Durant?
Which rumor?
Yeah. And he’s retweet Jordan Peterson, John Stockton, and Jason Whitlock. He’s clearly trying to make a statement. I have no problem with him doing that. I’m Jewish. Wish he would own it instead of just making up some BS reason about why he was disrespected. I’ve had clients that were openly antisemitic and I actually got along well with them because they owned it. Kyrie is such a tool. Never mind that he thinks he’s sophisticated and well read.
Memphis isn’t going to offer bane, morant or jackson so what’s their better offer?
I agree on raptors but nets are probably rebuilding if they trade durant. Not sure they want siakim and van fleet.
Durant isn’t going to OKC or NOLA is my point he will have some say in it. Durant is too powerful to just send him wherever you want.
Suns - ayton has higher upside than rj but Knicks have 7 first rounders and wins have 3. I think RJ Obi with 7 picks beats ayton and 3 picks.
What’s the denver offer?
Bondy claims he'll likely be bought out if he's not traded. Even for Leon Rose being unable to deal Reddish for a late 2nd etc would be something...
-Mentioned this yesterday but the Bucks are apparently interested in Rose.

Just saw someone else say this on Twitter. It makes 0 sense to not even be able to get a 2 for him. It amazes me how a GM plans to trade a player, but can’t tell the coach to give said player a few games to showcase that he can still play even if just 12 minutes for 2-3 games to garnish value back. In hockey, it happens all the time.
He also said the thinking of not trading KD has shifted for the Nets in the last 48 hours and there is now at least a possibility the Nets will trade him

Its also Bondy, who ha sbeen trolling a lot more lately
“That is an interesting development that has happened over the last 48 hours since the Kyrie trade from people that I've talked to.”
add in a new owner already leaking (tampering) that they are prepared to make a run at kd and a roster full of compelling pieces, and if there's a team that increases their offer from last summer in-season in a short window i think it's them.
some combo of bridges, johnson, ayton, and all their picks (most post-kd/cp3) is a really strong return that i was surprised the nets didn't just take last summer, but i think the rumors are that phoenix never put their best offer on the table.
boston put jaylon brown on the table last summer and if they did that again with smart that would be another option but i dont see boston doing that since they are already the favorite.
i think the nets want to give it 1 more run with kd and deal with a trade in june but if a really strong offer comes in they should take it and run - but the strength of the offer will come with getting a legitimate top 30 young guy like bridges or brown.
if they know kd is on the market now or maybe in the summer, do they trade 1st for kelly olynyk or naz reid right now? i would guess they are less likely to do so and maybe that makes it easier for the nets to possibly grab one of them.
cam j, ayton, and bridges put on a show. not sure ayton makes sense anymore with claxton emerging but that is by far the best value deal.

The Knicks are the 6 seed.
Their oldest rotation player is 28.
They have SEVEN 1st-Round Picks in the next 3 years.
Their 3 best players are on low-cost contracts until 2026.
The Knicks future is bright
No Nash. No Kyrie. Two huge pluses.
Claxton is legitimately good, Cam Thomas has potential. Add in Dorian Finney-Smith, Cam Johnson, Mikal Bridges and some more picks - Sean Marks can work with that.
@MikeAScotto
Sources: The Knicks have expressed interest in Blazers guard Josh Hart.

You can never say never. But Rose has not forced anything. It's all the rumors, most of which are BS, that make it seem as if he is desperately seeking trades.
If you judge by deeds rather than rumors, Rose has stayed the course, keeping the young core together and letting them grow.

7 FRPs in the next 3 years plus a lot of young tradeable players also mean they can swing TWO moves if they wanted to. One for a solid piece and then another move for a Superstar
On the OG front....
Some Raptors stuff from the great @TheSteinLine:
- Raptors exploring GTJ + draft compensation for Jakob
- Raptors believe they can get 3 firsts for O.G
- Memphis, NOLA, NYK have all indicated a “willingness” to offer 2 picks for O.G
- KD situation stalling OG talks
